I have joined Al Qaeda as a gay, HIV infected terrorist. My sex life is too dull to be a biological weapon,

On a side note, It's said that sex between men and boys in Afhghanistan society (not Al queda) is quite common and has been for hundreds of years. Some say this is a by product of the strict segregation of women in that society, and the strict mores of pre-marital sex. But Have you seen the women?? What hetero man wouldnt want some boy lovin after looking at those nags.

Following the mullahís math, this suggests that between 18% and 45% of men here engage in homosexual sexósignificantly higher than the 3% to 7% of American men who, according to studies, identify themselves as homosexual

Betty, I just gave someone a seven day time out an hour ago for name calling. The only reason I'm just warning you and not giving you a time out as well is because he also used a PM to threaten another member and you only engaged in name calling. So please consider yourself warned and knock it off with the name calling.

I do agree that his comments were misogynistic, but calling him and another member misogynistic twats was over the line.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

when I lived in England I had business dealings with many Arabic men from different countries one of the first things they wanted to purchase when visiting London was a gold cock ring for their "boy" apparently that is a common "gift" and not unusual practice since the shops in the local neighborhoods where they stayed had a supply readily available,dont know the statistics but seemd like a very common request by the men who were visiting

I have seen that film about Afghani boys being pimped out. I also saw a documentary about boys in India having to dance with each other and it leading to sex many times, because they aren't suppose to dance with girls.

On the news last night, they did a report on Afghan families who don't have a boy. Everyone wants a boy there, so they will often dress a female child as a boy and she will live her life as a boy until she becomes an adult. That could mess a kid up--I mean unless they wanted to be a different gender.

Several replies later and Tedderz has yet to give us an explanation for this "performance art" picture. It is so out of character for him.

His husband is gonna be pissed when he finds out Teddy is on the internet again without his Burka .

I know! I believe he's nekkid in that picture. Hmmm... Wait a second, isn't he supposed to be gifted like some sort of stallion? Where are the goodies?

I was trying to wrap my towel like my mom would, but it fell apart as the pic was taken and looked more like a turban. Brian had taken a video of me in the new tub and sent out to family and friends. When I saw it later, I noticed without Mr. Bubbles in the tub, my little terrorist was showing. Very embarrassing. Well, not that little of a terrorist. Maybe I'll post that video.

By the way, that is my birth mark on my left arm. I have only seen another birth mark like that on Ted Shackelford, who played Gary Ewing on Knots Landing. And his name is Ted and last name starts with an "S" as mine does. Oooooh, strange..lol. He has the exact birth mark as I do.

Odyssey, thanks for that nice compliment. You've made my day.

Bubbles the Chimp did come to live with me after he escaped Neverland Ranch.
